Show Notes
Welcome to The Mater Podcast, hosted by me, Maddie Rose Hills.
I initiated Mater in 2021, as a research project driven by a fascination for how artists think about materials. In September 2021 I finished my Masters in Art and Material Histories, which left me feeling inspired by all of these artists and their amazing relationships with materials.. Through Mater, I began to broaden the research, looking at seed-keepers, philosophers, architects, curators, designers, geographers, ecologists, highlighting the tangled nature of the world of materials.
Through this podcast we will be joined by new and old collaborators, and we'll be speaking about clay, seeds, glitter, paint, forests, pigments, milk, mould, water...
I’m excited to go on this journey of curiosity and discovery, diving into the world of materials.. You can follow us on Instagram at Mater_______ And you can read all of the commissioned texts for free on our website at mater.digital.
Thank you for listening, Bye! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
More from The Mater Podcast
This is a conversation with Verity Babbs (art historian and comedian) about Arsenic - which is a naturally occurring element that is toxic to humans. Arsenic is used in many traditional pigment recipes, and ended up being used widely during the Victorian era in paintings, clothing and wallpaper.
Today’s conversation is all about Salvage.. Which is the finding, rescuing & gathering of materials and objects that have had a previous life, and might otherwise be discarded.
